He's going to have to block some.  The team isn't going to trot him on the field only in 3rd and long situations.  Grated, he's a pass cathcing TE, but even those guys have to do some dirty work now and again.

Yeah sure a little but that's not why they signed him. Check out this stat from last season

Field Position

  G REC YDS AVG LNG TD 1st 1st% 20+ 40+
Own 1-20 - by Yard Line   1 9 9 9 0 0 0 0 0
Own 21-50 - by Yard Line   12 226 18.8 59 1 10 83.3 4 1
Opp 49-20 - by Yard Line   13 185 14.2 41 0 10 76.9 4 1
Opp 19-1 - by Yard Line   5 18 3.6 8 3 4 80 0 0

 

Look at those 1st down numbers! He's a chain mover!!

Best signing outside of Reddick tbh.

I liked Moore too--you have to let the Huddle comics post their ???? comments. They would turn down a date with Barbara Fialho because they have never heard of her. 

Then the analysis starts.  Very nice signing.

Yes it is. Usually I feel like we've always just signed players because we need a player at X position. Now, I feel we are signing players because we need a player at X position that can do Y and Z. Very different mentality to me. Me likey

    • Trying to help those 3 folks who hate this move.    In 2025 2.75 million is basically the new "vet" minimum.    They still need #3 RB and returner, draft could/should be the lane for that.    There's no downside to this move, they could cut with little effect and replace with your chosen rookie.   
    • Is it though? Even looking at just this past year, DK played 3 more games and had 81 more yards than Higgins had, but he also did it on less catches, with DK averaging 15 yards per catch and Higgins with 12.5. Yes, Higgins had 10 TDs to DK's 5, but I'd say that was far less about the WRs than the QBs, seeing as Burrow had 43 TDs (and only 9 INTs) to Geno's 21 TDs (and 15 INTs).  Swap the two of them last year and DK puts up better stats with Burrow as his QB than Higgins did, no doubt about it in my mind. DK has also only missed 3 games in his career, Higgins has missed 5 in each of the last 2 seasons. People here complain about our WR speed (and it's many people's biggest issue with T-Mac in the draft), but Higgins ran a 4.59 40 and DK ran a 4.33. DK has only played one more season than Higgins but he has 1,730 yards and 14 TDs more than Higgins, despite playing with the ghost of Russell Wilson and Geno Smith, while Higgins has had Burrow. To me, there is no debate, DK is a significantly better WR than Higgins.  Give him Burrow as his QB during his career and his numbers would dwarf what Higgins has put up.
